Sweet Plum Ceviche & Salmon


OK so this sounds weird but I had a bunch of plums last night and decided to make a ceviche from plums, onion, honey, & whole grain mustard. Ladled it over a raw salmon steak, marinated for 10 minutes, then threw it in a 400 deg oven for 15 minutes. Sauteed some spinach on the side. It actually worked well; not terribly sweet, and I think baking it took out some of the acidity of the plums as well. Win! Tomorrow I am on call for the first time in my life. Nervous. At least I will have good food to eat.

Green Papaya Salad


I can't take credit for this, because JW was kind enough to bring his entire green papaya ensemble to my house yesterday to assembly this work of art. Shredded green papaya + fish sauce + jalapeno + dried shrimp = brilliance invented by Thai people. I made BBQ chicken & tomato salad; JW made sticky rice in the microwave.

The completed dish, above.
And because it's summer.... heirloom tomatoes. Mmm.
